what options does it have? naka? nav? etc??? but it's CPO so you should expect to pay a bit more for it.

either way, welcome to the club! i am sure you can find tons of info here, just ask whatever you want

and let the mods begin!

I had 18's on my car for a year...to be honest with ya....they look kinda small after awhile...I would go with the 19's...dont spend the money on the 18's and then go to 19's...it costs way to much...I found out the hard way...(but i also went to 20's)...plus the 19's will fill the "gap" a whole lot better....

Welcome to CL. I would go with 19s or 20s .......19s are more maintainable than 20s especially if you have bad roads where you live!! I love my 20s but think I would be just as happy with 19s
